Massage Shop

“Withdraw all the money, release the security deposit, and then transfer it to my account.”

Su Tang was stunned. “You… you’re not playing anymore?”

Chen Xiao said, “We’re changing the way we play.”

Su Tang, looking confused, withdrew all the money as Chen Xiao requested.

His principal was 900,000, and in two days, he gained 28.5 points, profiting 256,500.

Two days, 250,000.

Su Tang felt like he was dreaming.

In reality, there really are people like this!

256,500, plus Chen Xiao’s principal of 100,000, totaled 356,500.

Because Chen Xiao’s financing period was short, the handling fee plus stamp duty was only a few hundred yuan.

He still had 356,000 in hand.

After the money arrived, Chen Xiao glanced at it and then turned off his phone.

“Let’s go.”

“Huh? Where to?”

Chen Xiao looked at her Fruit 3 and said, “Follow me.”

“Oh.”

Su Tang, carrying her bag, followed behind Chen Xiao, who had his hands in his pockets and walked with steady steps.

When they arrived at the same phone store as last time, Li Mengyue immediately recognized Chen Xiao.

Because his attire was still the same as before.

“Sir, you…”

Chen Xiao raised a hand. “I’m not looking for you.”

“That older lady, come here for a moment.”

The older lady who sold Chen Xiao a phone last time immediately dropped her current customer and ran over.

“Hello, sir, how may I help you?”

Chen Xiao turned to Su Tang and said, “You’ve worked hard these past two days. Pick out a Fruit 4; I’ll buy it for you.”

Su Tang covered her mouth in surprise. “This… isn’t this too expensive?”

Chen Xiao said, “If you refuse, then you really don’t consider me a friend. Without your account, could I have earned all that? Hurry and pick one; consider it a bonus from our two-person team.”

His tone carried a hint of undeniable authority.

Su Tang looked at the phones in the display case. To say she didn’t like them would be a lie.

Although she discussed funds of hundreds of thousands or even millions every day, she knew how low her own salary was.

After deducting rent, car loan, and other expenses, it would take several months to save up for such a phone.

Of course, if she asked her family, it would be easy.

But Su Tang, who was already working, didn’t want to burden her family anymore.

Yet, she also felt too embarrassed to accept it as a gift from Chen Xiao…

Just as she was hesitating, Chen Xiao said helplessly.

“This model, one black and one white.”

The older lady’s face immediately broke into a wide smile when she heard they were buying two.

Correspondingly, as happy as she was, Li Mengyue was just as annoyed.

This big customer should have been hers, but now it was too late to regret it.

She could only stand aside, looking at Chen Xiao with a pitiful expression.

Chen Xiao completely ignored her gaze. Once he had the phones, he forcibly handed one to Su Tang, paid, and turned to leave.

Reality is like this: for the same product, whoever can provide more service gets the business.

Li Mengyue, with her arrogance, couldn’t humble herself, but there were others who could.

Since the phones were all the same, Chen Xiao naturally chose to buy from the salesperson who offered better service.

“Sir, please come again! If you need anything next time, just call me. My business card is in the bag.”

Chen Xiao waved his hand, and as soon as he stepped out, he threw the bag, along with the phone box, into a trash can.

It was as if he had casually bought an ice cream and tossed away the useless wrapper.

Su Tang was once again shocked by his casualness in every gesture. He even threw away the warranty certificate?

“Tha-thank you, Mr. Chen.”

Chen Xiao waved his hand. “No problem. You’re not getting the phone for free; do me a favor.”

“Oh, okay. Tell me.”

“Help me open a margin account at a securities company with this money.”

A margin account is an account that allows for leverage.

Using Su Tang’s company’s margin account was always a bad idea; if her company found out, one time could be explained as luck, but twice or more would be hard to explain.

A securities company, however, was different. Although they would also be monitored, as long as he didn’t violate any rules, they couldn’t do anything to him.

“Oh, okay.”

“Is 200,000 enough?” Chen Xiao asked.

Su Tang nodded. “Mm, it’s enough.”

Chen Xiao transferred 200,000 to her. “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“You’re welcome. Shall I drive you back to school?”

“No, just open the margin account for me. If there’s still time today, we can even catch the trading session.”

Upon hearing this, Su Tang immediately reached for her keys. “Then I’ll go now.”

“Good.”

Su Tang started her car, said goodbye, and left.

Chen Xiao watched the car drive away, thinking how nice it was to have someone run errands.

He only had to speak, and everything would be handled.

“Sigh, in a while, maybe it’s time to set up a team.”

Chen Xiao couldn’t do everything himself. His time was mainly for making money and enjoying life. All other complicated matters could be handled by others.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiao took out his phone and called Sun Ying.

“Hello?”

“Little ingrate, did you miss me?”

Chen Xiao: “…”

“Can you use a different name?”

“Oh, darling, did you miss me?”

Chen Xiao: “...No.”

“Tch~~”

“Then why are you calling me?”

Chen Xiao was speechless. “To return your money! You haven’t forgotten that your 50,000 yuan is still with me, have you?”

“Oh, that.”

“You… really don’t need the money?” Sun Ying asked.

“No, I don’t. Didn’t I say I’d return it to you on Monday? It’s already Tuesday.”

“Why did you say you’d return it on Monday but drag it out until Tuesday? Because you needed to use the money. Little brother, don’t be polite with your big sister. You keep the money for now. I have to go; bye-bye.”

“Beep-beep-beep—”

Chen Xiao: “…”

What kind of logic was that?

This girl’s thought process was different from ordinary people.

Fine, if it stays with me, it can even multiply.

Chen Xiao then called Li Wenli; he had promised her yesterday to go shopping.

“Hello?”

“Hello? Brother Chen Xiao, did you miss me?” Li Wenli said in a voice so sweet it could make one sick.

Chen Xiao: “...Speak properly.”

“Oh.”

“What are you doing?”

“I just dealt with Liu Xin.”

Chen Xiao: “???”

“Dealt with… how did you deal with him?”

“He didn’t come to class. The elective teacher took attendance, and I said he wasn’t here.”

“Pffft ha ha ha…”

Chen Xiao almost died laughing. It really was true that you shouldn’t offend women.

They were too ruthless.

“Come to Jiaying World Trade Center. I’m waiting for you here.”

“Huh? Oh, then wait for me.”

Chen Xiao checked the time: 10:30 AM.

He decisively went to a nearby massage parlor, politely declined the fancy packages, and ordered an hour with a good-looking female masseuse.

He gave an extra hundred yuan as a tip to keep her quiet, and the masseuse immediately stopped promoting packages and massaged him seriously.

It proved that Chen Xiao’s choice was correct.

It took a full hour for Li Wenli to finally arrive.

She looked bewildered as she watched Chen Xiao walk out of the massage parlor, looking refreshed.

“You… you, you went for a massage?”

Chen Xiao looked back. “Otherwise? Would I go exercise?”

Li Wenli’s mind was in a jumble.

Chen Xiao looked at Li Wenli, who was wearing a floral dress with a somewhat exotic, pastoral style, and found it a bit amusing.

“Let’s go. What’s so interesting about a massage parlor?”

Li Wenli thought that nothing like that would have happened anyway, so she let Chen Xiao pull her into the mall.
